I think you might be missing the point. No one is saying it was impossible. The whole point is that access, cost, and effort have gone WAY down with the advent of 3D printing. Your comment just drives this home - before you needed an exp

Andrew, I just want to say that I was a hater. You reached out and got feedback from me. It didn't change my opinion a lot, but I appreciated the effort. That was years ago, now everything has changed. I am a huge fan and continue t

I lived in Oakland briefly. I can't speak to Oakland crime broadly, but I will say one of the big drivers of crime is gangs. In Baltimore city where I grew up, the crime is drug related so shootings are targeted and don't have c

I think the trap here, a function of scaling any business, is that what's best for most of your customers isn't necessarily best for all of your customers. Another perspective is that what's right for your 2013 customers isn

Not surprising that they put themselves up for sale - Clumsy Ninja never hit top 10 grossing. That was their ticket to the Billionaires Club and they missed the mark. Still a great outcome for the NaturalMotion guys. Welcome to the Borg.
